What a scary sight when the door opened 
Do you recognise some of these people? 
We had some 3-legged races during athletics practise today. It was so much fun as you can see on the faces of the girls in the photo!
Other people found it really difficult to co-ordinate their legs with out tripping themselves up. Some people tried to just walk at first to get into a rhythm. It was a great way to learn how to work together as a team. It's also a good idea to buddy up with someone who is a similar height to you and to put your arms around each others shoulders for support. This makes it easier to balance and steady yourself. 
We had a school sleepover for the children in the middle syndicate who are not in Year 5 yet. Breeze and Hannah have just finished their burgers and are looking forward to pudding (jelly, icecream and instant pud.yum!)
Miss Schneider and Mrs Latimer organised lots of cool party games for us to take part in after tea. Here Taylor is taking part in Charades. It was a great way to end the night. For supper, we had some milo and biscuits and we watched a DVD while snuggled up in our PJ's and beds. 
We had a giant game of "Pass the Parcel". Corban was the lucky winner and won this Chinese Checkers game which we are sure he will put to good use on these rainy days we are having at the moment.
Here is Jonty and Kyle having their very first try at shotput. They were surprised at how heavy they were to lift, let alone to try and throw!
Our raffle winner for Week 2 was......Robbie! His name was drawn out and he won this cool water bomb which will be useful during the summer (that's if the weather improves?)
It is athletics season at Motueka South. Twice a week we practise our skills with the other senior and middle school classes out on the back field. Here you can see Jade doing the high jump. She is very agile and managed to clear the pole by miles! We are learning to do the "scissors technique" and to work out which side suits us best for our run up. Some people are finding it a bit tricky and others are real naturals at high jump.
This is Mac. He is practising his long jump,how far do think he will jump??
Here is Kaitlyn about to throw her dodgeball at the target, Go Kaitlyn!
Robbie is aiming carefully for the target.
Here is the pineapple that Miss Robinson is cutting up for us to taste. Yummy!!
This is a coconut that Miss Robinson also brought along to show us on Tuesday 16th!!Miss Robinson smashed the coconut on the concrete outside our classroom. (room7) .There wasn't much coconut juice but we ate all the coconut meat!!! Miss Robinson also brought along some grated coconut for us to try!
Here is a photo of Faiga with her baby sister
This is Faiga's dad who came along to speak to us
This term we are having a "Lucky Raffle Draw" each Friday. When Miss Robinson spots someone in the class working quietly during the day or making great choices at school, she writes their names on a piece of paper and they go in the draw to win a prize. Week 1 was this cool drink bottle and Jade was the lucky winner. I wonder who will win the prize next week?
At school we have a new sport shed . Our class is now in charge of it. Me and Shani are going to be giving out the equipment today. Shani is going to be writing the things down while I go and grab the equipment and then give it to the people who wants its. On Friday some people from our class got all the equipment from the old sports shed and moved it to the new sports shed. We all hope that everyone respects the gear and don't leave gear lying around in the playground.From Jadine and Shana Tova
